What's The Point of Guinea Pigs?

This is the story of two rock and roll renegades, Growly Bear and Princess Kitty, and their relentless search to discover just what is the point of guinea pigs. Their quest is characterised by various daily trials and tribulations but throughout all of these they are sustained by an indefatigable sense of fun and a mutual love of honey.

The Phoenix

To all that dream, and all that dare
To see the beauty of land, sea and air
Nothing shall ye ever spy
As wondrous as the Phoenix in the sky
To all that think, and all that ponder
The ways of things on this place we wonder
The one thing ye shall never know
Isto what home does the Phoenix go
To all that pray, and believe in too
Forces merciful, pure and true
A brighter sign there shall never be
Than the mighty Phoenix over the sea
To all that live a life of good
Your deeds of love will come back, as they should
A happy life shall be yours to take away
When the Phoenix comes with the break of day
To all that walk the path of dark
My next words ye would do well to mark
For your deeds of evil ye shall be burnt in flame
And your actions shall be meet with untold of pain
To Human, Elf, Dwarf and all
To every creature great and small
The Phoenix is many things; in future now and history
And though every person has their say, The Phoenix stays a mystery

He has searched hard inside himself. He has thought about what he wants. He has taken time to reflect.

Princess Kitty has waited. She has waited patiently. She has trusted Growly Bear to do the right thing.

Growly Bear has missed Princess Kitty very much. Princess Kitty has missed Growly Bear too. But both of them knew that this time was important. They knew that at the end of it they would know the point of guinea pigs for sure.

And they do.

Princess Kitty knows that the point of guinea pigs is to love someone with all your heart. Growly Bear knows that it is to follow your heart.

There are more difficult times ahead. But they will be together this time. And love will keep them safe - forever.

...... Would they stay together foreverOr would life keep them apartWell though the road was long their love was so strongAnd those lovers followed their hearts

There is a song about Princess Kitty and Growly Bear. The last two lines are missing. There are two endings. I will tell you when I know which one finishes the song.

From the start they had something specialA spark in the darkness of lifeBut he had a steady companionAnd she was a mother and wifeIt was music that brought them togetherA pied piper he wooed her with songAnd their love grew each day getting strongerEven though they knew it was wrong

They were rock and roll renegadesOn a long lonely roadLovers and soul matesWith a secret that couldn't be told

They had such great times togetherTheir love made them feel so aliveThough their two lives were complicatedAnd they wondered if they would surviveMaking love was always so specialTheir passion was powerful and deepAnd they dreamed of the day arms enfoldedTogether they'd peacefully sleep

They were rock and roll renegadesOn a long lonely roadLovers and soul matesWith a secret that couldn't be told

Now the goddess of love has a cruel sideAnd though their love was pure and trueShe decided the time had comeWhen these two lovers would have to chooseWould they stay together foreverOr would life tear them apart .............

Today Growly Bear and Princess Kitty said goodbye. It is time for them to learn their lessons.

Growly Bear needs to learn who he is. He needs to learn if he wants to lead a more spiritual life or if he will stand by his responsibilities. He needs to learn if he wants to live a life where he is seen for who he is and the potential he has or a life where he lives as others expect him to. He needs to learn if he can live without Princess Kitty. And he needs to find a way to live with himself whatever he decides.

Princess Kitty will learn if love really does conquer all or if life is all about compromise like Growly Bear sometimes says. She will learn if dreams really do come true. And she will learn about life without Growly Bear.

It is the saddest of days. That little cat and that little bear are starting the next part of their journey to find the point of guinea pigs. They need some peace to do that. We are going to leave them to travel the next bit of their journey alone.

Princess Kitty made Growly Bear a nice tea. Then they talked about how things were to be. They talked about their search for the point of guinea bigs. And then they made honey. For hours and hours. The sweetest honey ever.

Growly Bear talked about how difficult Princess Kitty can be and how wonderful. Princess Kitty was strict with Growly Bear and told him how much she loves him.

It was a special day in the Fatty Flatfoot empire. Fatty Flatfoot had arranged some celebrations so that everyone could pretend they are happy. She gathered all the slaves together and made them play games and pretend to laugh out loud.

Poor Growly Bear. He joined in and pretended to smile. But he knew he would not find the point of guinea pigs there. And inside he was wishing Princess Kitty could come and secretly rescue him.

Princess Kitty thought about Growly Bear . She thought about a spell to rescue him. But she quite liked the thought of Growly Bear having to run about and look happy. So she just giggled.

Growly Bear has been thinking a lot about what Princess Kitty said and how their time apart might be. Princess Kitty and Growly Bear agree that they are going to meet next week to talk about this time.

Princess Kitty is pleased that Growly Bear has been thinking. She is pleased that he thought her idea was good. She is glad they both agree that finding the point of guinea pigs is the most important thing.

Princess Kitty lies in bed and thinks about how strange her new world is. She thinks about how her journey has been so far. She thinks about how lucky she is to have nice friends. She thinks about how much she loves Growly Bear.

It is Princess Kitty's Daddy's birthday today. Princess Kitty has been to see him. She took him a present and a card.

Growly Bear has been doing more thinking. He is still feeling scared. He is feeling scared that Princess Kitty might one day be angry with him and reject him. He is feeling scared that he will be lonely. Poor little bear.

Princess Kitty knows she will never be angry with Growly Bear. Not really angry. Sometimes he makes her a bit cross. Like sometimes she makes him a bit cross. It's part of the point of guinea pigs.

Princess Kitty spent the rest of her evening with some friends. They are planning a special event. Princess Kitty has some jobs to do that will keep her busy for a while.

Growly Bear has lots to do too. He is busy at work in the Fatty Flatfoot empire. And all the time he is thinking about how things will be.
